Various Artists - Cafe Del Mar Ibiza Vol.8 (Compiled By Jose Padilla) (CD 2002)

The year I bought this I thought "This has been the most suprisingly good cd I've heard all summer"

Addictive, and each time I play it, someone either wants to borrow or buy it, good sign. Café del Mar 8 has the créme de la créme of chill out and electronica artists and producers, and makes a mockery of all the other rip off cd's in this genre trying to achieve the same depths of chill and style. Highlights for me are Illumination's "Cookie Raver", a mixture of Sueno Latino and deep Future Sound of London type beats and vibe, Illumination's remix of Mari Boine, "Gula Gula", and the Lamb anthem "Gabriel".

Thanks Café del Mar, and keep up the good work with cutting edge acts like these.
